(Children's Books) Darton, F.J. Harvey CHILDREN'S BOOKS IN ENGLAND, FIVE CENTURIES OF SOCIAL LIFE
New Castle, Delaware and London Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 1999 tall 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. 416 pages.
Third edition. "Not a collection of queer facts or antiquarian scripts" said Harvey Darton of his book when it was first published in 1932, but "a chronicle of the English people in their capacity of parents, guardians and educators of children." Certainly, literature was his central theme, but through it, he wove biography and the facts of social and commercial history. Now available again, this third (corrected) edition is at pains to provide a text that will sustain Darton's reputation for a new generation of readers. Brian Alderson has checked every detail in an effort to ensure that the work is accurate by the standards of modern scholarship and has added a number of biographical notes. In a supplementary chapter, he has filled out the discussion of children's books during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods which formed a natural end point to Darton's history, and more than sixty illustrations expand upon the text. All these changes have been made in an attempt to support the message of Darton's original work, that "children's books were always the scene of a battle between instruction and amusement, between restraint and freedom, between hesitant morality and spontaneous happiness."

(Children's Books) Moon, Marjorie BENJAMIN TABART'S JUVENILE LIBRARY, A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BOOKS FOR CHILDREN PUBLISHED, WRITTEN, EDITED AND SOLD BY MR. TABART, 1801-1820.
Winchester St Paul's Bibliographies 1990 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. xvii, 180 pages.
First edition. In the early nineteenth century the prevailing influence in children's books was the promotion of morality, coupled with instruction, and fairy-tales and such-like improper subjects were widely discouraged. So Benjamin Tabart showed no little courage when, within three years of opening his Juvenile Library in Bond Street, he launched out into the publication of a series of well-produced fairy-tales and nursery stories.
During his short publishing career, he continued to provide children's bookshelves with light-hearted, attractive-looking books for which he employed excellent artists and some of the best children's writers of the day. Many of his publications are now very scarce, but Marjorie Moon has recorded about a hundred and ninety titles (often in several editions), which have survived the hazards of nursery life. Since Mr. Tabert was not only a publisher but also a bookseller, part two of this bibliography includes other titles which he advertized as being on sale in his shop.
An introduction discussing Tabart's publishing career, his family life, and the very close connection between Tabart and the prolific publisher, Sir Richard Phillips, is included. Brian Alderson has contributed an appendix on the illustrating of two of Tabart's picture-books, and another appendix reprints William Goodwin's remarkable preface to his book of Bible stories which so horrified Mrs. Trimmer, the self-appointed critic of Georgian children's reading matter.
